Surveillance is considered IMF's most important function because the organization mainly concentrates on its members' economic policies that control the international monetary system and character of exchange rates. Another major role of surveillance is to advocate member countries to promote orderly economic and financial conditions and a monetary system that will not create unbalanced disruptions.
